Careers Hub

Working together to create a better careers education

Welcome to the West Midlands Careers Hub, your one-stop destination for high-quality careers support.

Our team works tirelessly with secondary schools and colleges to connect them with local employers and provide students with the resources they need to succeed.

Our mission is to develop a strong community of practice that improves careers education for all and delivers the Gatsby Benchmarks. which are endorsed in the Careers Strategy by the Department for Education. These benchmarks provide a framework for schools and colleges to improve their careers guidance and support, and our team is here to help them achieve that goal. We are working hard to prepare Schools and Employers for the Modern Work Experience Framework and our aim is to ensure that, in the future across our region, we are better prepared to deliver 50 hours’ worth of good quality work experience for every student.     

We collaborate with employers, the public sector, education providers and voluntary organisations to ensure that young people have access to the best possible careers education and opportunities.   

By working together, we can ensure that EVERY student in the West Midlands has the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to progress to their next best step following education and achieve their career goals.

Whether you're a school or college looking to improve your careers education or an employer looking to connect with local talent, the Careers Hub is here to help.

Join us today and be a part of our mission to improve careers outcomes for young people in the West Midlands.
